Portland Head Light Wedding: Meg and Joe

Sometimes love doesn’t need grand gestures to feel extraordinary. Easy peasy. Gather your favorite people, stand in a place that matters, and affirm what’s already true. That’s exactly what this couple did at the Portland Head Light, and it was such a joy to be there with them.

A Simple, Meaningful Gathering

The ceremony was refreshingly simple: family, friends, and a breathtaking coastal backdrop. There was no rush or stress, just laughter, hugs, and heartfelt promises. The focus stayed exactly where it belonged — on love and connection.

While we don’t share images of children online, the gallery is filled with sweet, joyful moments of the kids running around and being part of the celebration. Trust us — so much cuteness. The rest of the day was filled with the same kind of warmth: friends cheering, quiet moments between the couple, and the steady lighthouse watching over it all.

From the Lighthouse to Saltwater Grille

After the ceremony, everyone headed to the Saltwater Grille in South Portland for a relaxed reception. The view of the harbor, the easy atmosphere, and the closeness of family and friends made it the perfect way to end the day. Just like the ceremony, the reception was casual, honoring, and full of genuine connection.

Why We Love Weddings Like This

We’ve photographed everything from grand celebrations to intimate elopements, and days like this remind us that simple doesn’t mean ordinary. There’s something so powerful about stripping away the extras and focusing on the people, the place, and the promises. Maine’s coastal landscapes and iconic lighthouses make the perfect backdrop for couples who want their day to feel both timeless and personal.

This wedding was proof that when you keep things easy and true to yourselves, the result is unforgettable. From vows at the lighthouse to a reception at Saltwater Grille, every moment reflected the couple’s love story. We walked away with a gallery full of joy, comfort, and beauty.
